Dinner with Friends…..

A few weeks ago we were invited to have dinner with some really good friends of ours from Church. I was the ‘member missionary’ that went with the missionaries several years ago when they were teaching Carrie Ellen. She was baptized on Easter Sunday of (geez, I can’t even remember how long ago it was….we were still living in EL!) but her husband Gere was not. Gere was very supportive and has continued to be through the years and even attends church with her fairly often. He is blind and has been since he was a teenager. They are such a neat couple and we do enjoy their company. We went to their home and brought along a salad. They provided the rest of the meal: potato salad, fresh fruit, strawberries (sliced by Gere with the knife upside down!), and hamburgers on the grill. Have you ever seen a blind man grilling hamburgers?? Quite a sight to behold! First he wets down an oven mitt (it has burn marks all over it : ) ) and then he puts it on. As the burgers are cooking he pushes on the burgers in order to find out how done they are. He seasons them and everything! Actually, everything was absolutely delicious!! I had never taken a picture of these wonderful people, so I took my camera along and thought they were worthy of a spot on the blog!!
